Ever since Adobe’s introduction of Photoshop, it has been all but expected that the standing President would have one or more photos doctored showing them holding a phone upside-down. The message being that the politician is so used to faking photo ops and so clueless that they didn’t even notice that the phone was upside-down […]

Just checking because I checked Wikipedia and a map and they still seem to be separate countries, and China doesn’t appear to be located on North America.
So why this statement from Barack Obama:
“In Youngstown, Ohio, I talked to workers who have seen their plants shipped overseas as a consequence of bad trade deals like NAFTA, […]

Not having anything better to do, the NY Times’ Jim Rutenberg, Marilyn W. Thompson, David D. Kirkpatrick, and Stephen Labaton have spent the last few days researching and resurrecting an 8 year old story about a relationship that everyone involved denies and tying it back into the Keating 5 scandal. As far as smears […]

I don’t think it’s his looks, but not being known as a fine judge of male pulchritude I could be wrong.
He’s a major political candidate so it’s probably not b.o.
Whatever it is the women, they are dropping like flies.
Dori Monson of 710 KIRO here in Seattle has found at least 7 examples of […]

Paul Krugman is a funny guy. At least I think he is - I mean I am assuming that it is his dry wit shining through when he complains about the “Clinton Rules” in use by the US media:
the term a number of observers use for the way pundits and some news organizations treat […]

As you all know I veered from the mainstream candidates early on and endorsed Pandora Peaks as my preferred presidential candidate, both for the lyrical nature of the name title combination (President Pandora Peaks just sounds good) and for the huge knockers - but mainly for the huge knockers. Anyway her campaign has been […]

Proving that no idea ever really goes out of style Hillary Clinton is stealing her economic plans from the Chavez / Mugabe playbook.
And why not? It’s worked well for Venezuela, where although the government doesn’t officially control all private businesses, price controls, currency controls, a tendency to intervene in the market and […]

I am reviving the Draft Pandora Peaks movement for Election 2008. She is at least as viable a candidate as Ron Paul, Stephen Colbert, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and (at this point) Fred Thompson plus she is a hell of a lot more decorative.
I need a nifty little graphic to put here […]

Below is a Los Angeles Times Editorial. We’re running it in its entirety since it’s likely that we won’t see many more editorials coming out of the Times that interest us or a good chunk of their shrinking readership. For those of you not following the soap opera at the Times, the agenda-driven columnists […]

As the Presidential-wannabees of 2008 fall all over themselves trying to be the most digital, John Edwards is clearly trying to be more “web 2.0” than any of the other candidates.
Not surprisingly, he looks silly.
He’s now posting regular updates on Twitter, the uber-buzzy social network populated largely by 20-somethings blogging about playing videogames or ordering […]

Would you vote for this man? Not many will.
California’s Democratic party has learned once again how not to win a gubernatorial race. It is certain that they will once again lose in a most-decidedly Democratically state. How?
1. Failing to find a candidate worth supporting. Phil Angelides is not only a poor choice for governor, he […]

WSJ reports (may require fee) that politicians such as U.S. Rep Ted Strickland are increasingly creating MySpace profiles to attract young voters. Given the coverage on what other senior politicians have been trolling for on the Internet the whole thing comes off just a little creepy.
Also, if you are expecting any serious political dialog, […]

Our friend Joe Sherlock critiques a voter pamphlet sent to him to educate voters about the candidates running in his area. I sort of wish I lived in his area because it looks like it was put together by the editorial staff of The Onion.
Joe has fun with it and so will you.

Mimi Miyagi has lost her bid for Nevada Governor and both she and Mary Carey have ignored my offer to run a stealth write in campaign for Washington Senator, replacing Maria Cantwell. Therefore I am shifting my sites to the 2008 Presidential race and suggesting Pandora Peaks for President.
Pandora Peaks has […]
